Too little time is a common complaint across all aspects of our daily life, driving us to find digital solutions to simplify it. From our own mobile device apps that provide personal life assistance, to large multi-networked systems that optimise organisational efficiency, it is now not uncommon to seek supportive, even intuitive digital functionality in every aspect of life.

With recruitment, the key to organisational success, it stands to reason that the seeking and hiring of great personnel is also best supported with smart technology. When hundreds of candidates are applying for just one job, the necessity for an integrated intuitive solution is even greater.

An applicant tracking system (ATS), such as QJumpers recruitment software, can electronically organise your businesses candidate solution and help manage applications at the early stages of a recruitment drive. The QJumpers ATS software facilitates with streamlining the hiring process, and giving back precious time at the face-to-face stage of recruitment.

When deciding on an ATS software solution, there are many benefits you should consider. The software should be easy to use, functional, efficient, and bring flexibility to you, the end user, at time of the recruitment process.

Consequently, we’ve outlined four benefits that you should consider when looking for an applicant tracking software solution:

Efficiency

Sorting through, filing CVs and notifying declined candidates is vital to finding the right candidate, but it is this initial stage of the recruitment phase that recruiters find the most time-consuming for a small return on the time spent, necessary though it is.

Searching, sorting, storing and keeping a record for your business, is what the QJumpers ATS solution will provide to you. It will help take over the role of basic data processing such as manually scanning through hundreds of CVs.

For greater efficiency, it also offers you a customisable solution that is easy to manage and can be used by the whole team. One that plugs seamlessly into your existing technology, is intuitive, has a user-friendly interface, enables communication between yourself and the candidate, and includes reporting analytics.

If you are going to invest in an ATS system, these are key features to truly optimising your ability to attract, track and keep on top of your talent pool.

A single system, accessed anytime any where

Whether it’s about flexible working or due to deadline pressures, there is greater demand to access recruitment solutions outside of the workplace and business hours. Finding an ATS software solution that could combine all the traditional recruitment tools and elements used for applicant tracking and processing into a single interface, would be the key to gaining momentum in your recruitment process. Having a single interface like QJumpers ATS software, allows users to easily manage applicants, load jobs, shortlist, decline, arrange interviews, complete background checks and provide analytics at the touch of a finger wherever they are.

Gone are the days of switching between programmes on a mobile phone to try to communicate directly with a candidate that meets your criteria. In the time it takes you to copy and paste from one source to another, the QJumpers software will enable you to generate an email within the system to instantaneously connect with great talent, maintaining a competitive advantage in a simple, quick and professional manner.

Integration

When the goal is to speed up the applicant tracking process, a clunky, difficult-to-install system with a complex user face is counter-productive. Rather, when considering an ATS solution think not only about efficiencies and speed, but the way you and your recruitment team can use the software. An ATS system that integrates with your existing HR information solutions will allow you to hit the ground running, minimizing the time it takes to train staff.

The beauty of an ATS software solution like QJumpers, is that it’s designed in conjunction to be used with social networking tools, so that staff can use the tool more intuitively.

Keep on top of your talent pool

It’s not only about being efficient. Your overall objective is to find the right candidate for the role. An ATS solution will find, track and rank candidates using your criteria in a best-practice, fair and exacting method. Simultaneously it will save, store and sort candidates and CVs, easing the administrative burden. When the right people emerge from the initial recruitment process you can prioritise securing and processing that candidate over paperwork.

At times, great candidates that apply may not be suitable for various roles, but have been identified as a great organizational fit, or with potential to become one. An ATS solution such as the QJumpers software, can help you to keep these promising candidates’ data, providing peace of mind that you have a pool of talent you can dip into in the future.
